March 4, 2011 – Standing out from the crowd for all the right reasons…who would mind that? And especially when fashion is involved? Have you noticed that being fashionably late is always easily forgiven?

Anyway, there are many ways to achieve exactly that whether you are a fashionista or not.

My article today is for the gentleman who loves to look good and cares about being fashion forward and isn’t scared of a bit of an opulent look.

The Ascot tie can give you just this… First things first, an ascot tie is a narrow neckband with wide pointed wings, traditionally made of pale grey patterned silk and worn mostly in formal settings.

This is how you tie an ascot:

Easy peasy huh?

However, even though you may be into looking good, please avoid the ascot tie if you don’t have the confidence to pull it off.

The ascot should be worn with a significant amount of poise so make sure you wear it like it was invented for you.

I know of someone who bagged himself a gorgeous girl, and the girl swears it was the ascot tie that drew her to him… Tempted? Try it and see what it does for you…

PS: The patterned ones are hotter than the plain ones!
